You flew right past a couple of things: -- The channel master app needs a working compass in your phone. You can get a compass from a store and use the web site. -- The box on the mast below the actual antenna was not mentioned early on. It is likely an amplifier. This is good if you are splitting the signal later. Antennas with built in amplifiers are generally not nearly as good as an antenna and the amplifier as two items. -- When looking at where the towers are, also look to see what stations. You may pick the one that is 40 miles away over the one that is 35 miles away if it has stations you really want. -- Higher is generally better for the antenna. -- Channel master also makes rotors if you have towers in many directions, consider that. If there are two directions only, then two antennas may be a better option. They can live one above the other by a few feet. There are options for what to do with the signals from them. (A) a cable A/B switch works best but you have to toggle it manually. A "splitter" can work as a combiner to combine antennas but you do lose some signal when you do this. -- If you are going to split the signal to a lot of TVs, you may want an amplifier or amplifying splitter. --when you run down the wall, run down below the entry and then loop up to the entry. Rain water running down won't make the turn. --Indoors: If you are still using a stone age coal fired analog TV,, you can find converter boxes for about $40 --Indoors: Read the manual on how to get the TV to scan. Note: I am getting 127 channels over the air. Of them perhaps 10 are worth the bother to watch. It is a little like with cable. Most channels are junk.
Most definitely need a ground. They might be ground to the electric coming into the house being so close to the main coming in but they didn't say a thing about it.

Where i can buy this antenna?
Isn't there a need for grounding the antenna and mast?
Most definitely need a ground. They might be ground to the electric coming into the house being so close to the main coming in but they didn't say a thing about it.
also install a Rotor.. it's not too much extra work.
